iKon B1 Standard

iKon Shave Craft (https://www.ikonrazors.com/) is an artisan razor making company based in the United States. The company has been around for a long time and was one of the pioneers in stainless steel razor manufacturing. The company’s philosophy is to offer a modern take on vintage razors. The company offers a wide range of purchasing options from full razors, head only, handle only and accessories. Purchases can be made direct or from the following third party resellers: Maggard Razors (www.maggardrazors.com), Barbieri Uniti Srl (www.rasoigoodfellas.com) and Connaught Shaving (www.connaughtshaving.com) The iKon B1 Standard features the B1 coating, which is designed to prevent water staining that can occur even on high grade stainless steel as well as an additional corrosion protection. The head is machined to tight tolerances and coupled with the tab like posts, razors blades center perfectly and are held tightly when the assembly is tightened. The head weighs 31 grams and features the company’s logo etched into the base plate. The iKon B1 Standard is an aggressive shaver which offers a lot of blade feel to the user. The razor although aggressive is not the most efficient shaver. The cutting angle is natural although the sweet spot is narrow. There is not a lot of forgiveness from this razor’s head design. The blade feel is nice for blind shaving the back of my head, but I am never able to shave mindlessly because the sweet spot is so narrow. Overall, this razor did not impress me to the point where I feel like I need to own one. It is well crafted and is priced with many mid-priced stainless steel razors making it a more affordable option than the premium or ultra-premium priced razors on the market.
